Chapter 31: The Princess

This egg is about the height of an adult's calf, enough to hold in your arms.

Ling Ning was curious: "What kind of egg is this?" Where did you get such a big one? ”

Qian Mei'er sniffed lightly, her face was slightly ugly, and she said, "You...... You can't get it from some 'Zhuxian Forest', right? ”

Phantom snapped her fingers and said proudly, "That's right! That's right! It was I who stole from the 'Forest of the White Tigers'...... Oh no...... It's 'finding', how about it! ”

Qian Mei'er frowned and said, "You...... You're too bold! If it's an ordinary monster egg, forget it, I feel that your breath is not ordinary...... And the whole body is snow-white, I hope it is not a high-level demon beast...... What kind of monster egg is this? ”

"I don't know ......," Phantom muttered quietly.

"You...... What did you say? ”

Qian Meier almost thought that she had heard it wrong, it was obviously the egg she "found" but she didn't know what it was, how could it be reasonable?

"I don't know!" Phantom Ji straightened up.

"What a woman you are...... Hopelessly stupid! Qian Mei'er was so angry that she almost went up and hammered her head.

Ling Ning was confused, he didn't know much about the Immortal Dust Continent, so he didn't understand the key.

"Hey, what's wrong with just a monster egg?" What do you mean by 'Zhuxian Forest' and 'White Tiger Forest'? ”

Qian Mei'er glared at Phantom Ji, sighed and explained: "Seventy percent of the land of the Immortal Dust Continent is dominated by the four 'Zhuxian Forest', and the four major forests are divided into 'White Tiger Forest', 'Vermilion Bird Forest', 'Xuanwu Forest' and 'Green Dragon Forest', it is said that the ancient god Yellow Emperor appointed the four divine beasts to guard the four major forests to prevent the demon race from returning to the world...... you should understand the meaning of the word 'Zhu Xian', that is, 'the forbidden land that monks cannot set foot in'!" In each forest, there is a powerful 'Demon King' as the commander, who has always stood tall in the endless years of the Immortal Dust Continent. Although the Forest of Immortals and the Five Great Sects have reached some peace agreements in the past thousand years to allow monks to enter the experience, if it involves 'high-level demon beasts', it may cause a lot of trouble...... If this egg is the child of some 'high-level demon beast'...... I'm afraid that no matter how far you hide in the world, you will still be dug up and killed......"

Ling Ning was stunned and said, "Do you really want to give such a dangerous thing to Xi'er?" ”

Phantom Ji scratched her head and said, "This ......"

Ling Ning stretched out his hand and stroked the body of the egg, only to feel the tentacles cold, "Your egg seems to be cold, could it be dead?" How long have you been incubating? ”

Phantom Ji said: "How can you die! I want to think about it...... It should have been a few months since I got it...... I didn't move anything if I kept it in the ring...... Does this thing need to be incubated? Won't it break its shell on its own? ”

Qian Mei'er resisted the urge to hit her: "Please! Naturally, it needs to be hatched! I'm really by you...... Hurry up and tell me how you got this egg! ”

Ling Ning opened the Pupil Technique, True Vision, and the egg in his field of vision exuded a faint blue spiritual power, and it seemed that the shadow of some kind of bird was still moving without dying.

"It's still alive and seems to be some kind of fowl monster......"

Qian Mei'er frowned and said, "It's okay if it's a bird, after all, the high-level demon beasts of the White Tiger Forest are mostly beasts...... You've forgotten how you got this egg, have you? ”

Phantom Ji said: "How could it be! It was a stormy night, and I was training alone in the White Tiger Forest, when suddenly lightning flashed, thunder roared, and the wind blew violently......"

Qian Mei'er interrupted her and said, "Hey, hey, can you get to the point...... Where did you find it, and did you encounter any monsters? ”

Phantom Ji argued forcefully: "I'm just going to say that you don't interrupt!" I want to think about it...... It was found in a small canyon south of the White Tiger Forest, and it was indeed a stormy night when I couldn't see anything clearly, and there were two monsters fighting in the air...... By the way, I seem to hear the chirping of the demon beast, it should be a bird monster...... As lightning flashed, I suddenly noticed an egg in a bird's nest on a cliff...... At that time, I ran out of elixirs to replenish my physical strength, so I was exhausted to death, and when I saw this egg, I suddenly became hungry, so I risked my life and spent a lot of effort to climb the cliff to get this egg, and I almost fell off the cliff several times...... Anyway, now that I think about it, it's really a ghost, but at that time, I really wanted to eat it, and the roar of the demon beast and the storm were all thrown aside, what a terrible obsession......"

Qian Mei'er said: "The level of the fowl and demon beasts perched on the cliff should not be too high...... You're so bold, if you were discovered by an adult monster, you might die on the spot......"

Phantom Ji said: "There is no way, I was obviously out of strength at that time, but I suddenly gushed out...... Maybe it's because you want to have a full meal...... If it weren't for the fact that I happened to meet my fellow disciple and brother in time, I would have really eaten it......"

Ling Ning said, "Mei'er, do you think Xi'er can accept it?" ”

Among the three, she is the most familiar with demon beasts, so she needs to make the final judgment.

After thinking for a while, Qian Mei'er finally nodded and said, "Since this is the case, let's take it first, fortunately, the mortal dust continent is very far away from the White Tiger Forest, and there will be no problem for a while, and besides, it is much better in Xi'er's hands than being eaten or rotten in the storage ring......"

"Hey, hey, hey, you're going too far! I've always remembered it! ”

Qian Mei'er ignored Phantom Ji's "protest" and directly snatched the egg from her arms and handed it to Qin Xi: "Xi'er, you have to hatch it well!" I'll tell you what to prepare......"

"Thank you, uncle!"

"This is my gift to you! It's not her! Words of thanks to me! ”

"Ahh Excuse me! Thanks a lot...... Master Uncle! ”

……

After that, Qian Mei'er carefully taught Qin Xi how to hatch this demon beast egg, and Ling Ning talked to Qin Xi alone for a long time to understand what she was learning now, and checked her spiritual root before letting her go back to rest.

Qin Xi's situation was similar to what he imagined, due to the environment, what she had learned was very complicated, and there were four or five exercises alone, but almost all of them were superficial. These various exercises are basically from a little-known small sect, and the quality of the exercises is uneven, which leads to a big problem in terms of her true yuan, not only can she not support her to fight for a long time, but if she continues to cultivate, she may even go mad.

The exercises she is currently majoring in are a Taoist book of the Shangqing Sect, which her brother Qin Fei touched from the corpse of a monk at the risk of death during the war between the three empires, although there are only the first few volumes, but thanks to these volumes, she broke through to the fading period, which shows that the classic inheritance of the big sects is not comparable to those small doors and small households.

With her current cultivation, this Shangqing Sect's exercise was no longer applicable, and a new exercise was urgently needed, which made Ling Ning embarrassed. Now all he can hold is a copy of "The Twelve Swords of Taicang", and in terms of exercises, he only has the "Transformation of the Gods", and he can't teach her the "Transformation of the Gods", and she can't cultivate without the power of the Immortal Yuan.

After thinking about it, he could only turn to the palace master for help, and after silently reciting the palace master several times in his heart, the palace master's lazy voice came to mind.

As soon as the palace master came up, he poked him in the heart: "What? Worried about that girl's exercises? ”

"That's right, palace master, do you have any exercises in your hands that are suitable for that child? Or can you let me go to the 'Tiance Mansion' and look for it? ”

"'Tiance Mansion' is not something that can be gone by saying that she can go, and besides, she doesn't have an immortal yuan on her body, and she wants to practice the classics in it, it's just a fool's dream......"

Ling Ning touched his head and said, "Then I can only ask Lingxi, their auction house should be able to find a suitable exercise, and it is estimated that it will take some time...... And I don't have a spirit stone for her, so I can only owe her a favor first......"

The palace master was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "There is a technique in the memory of this palace, you can consider cultivating for that child......"

When Ling Ning heard that it was the exercise in her memory, it was definitely not an ordinary product, and hurriedly asked, "Oh? What is it about the anti-heaven exercises that you can remember so much? ”

The palace master's face seemed to reminisce about the past: "I can't say what kind of anti-heaven exercise, this exercise originates from a place called 'Butterfly Valley' in the heavenly realm, where all kinds of flowers bloom all over the valley like spring all year round, and the fragrance of flowers attracts countless butterflies to dance in the valley......"

"You...... Do you remember something? ”

The palace master sat for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's all going on...... What else do you want to do with that...... The Butterfly Valley inheritance recorded in the heart of this palace is very complete, and a small part of it will be passed on to you first, which is enough for that girl to practice to the late stage of Yudan......"

The palace master typed a pink text into Ling Ning's mind and disappeared, Ling Ning carefully read the exercises in his mind and only felt that the mystery was endless.

The name of the exercise is "Wandering Between Flowers", which is a unique science created by watching the colorful butterflies shuttle among the thousands of flowers. Its main purpose is to "pass in the ten thousand flowers, and the leaves do not stick to the body", which is an extremely flexible and light exercise, which is very suitable for women's cultivation. It is difficult to guess what this exercise will look like when practiced to the extreme, but the essence of the mysteries in it is much more profound than the "Netherworld Ghost Steps" he is currently practicing.

Although Ling Ning also wanted to practice this exercise, he already had the "Transformation of the Gods", if he still wanted to practice this "Flower Room", it would take too much energy, not only to refine qi and practice exercises, but also to refine medicine, rejuvenation, shaping, etiquette and many other contents to achieve results, most of which were not suitable for men to practice.

He was amazed at why there was a chapter on "etiquette" in a practice, and after reading it, he realized that this exercise had very detailed rules for the practitioner's every move, smile and smile. How do women breathe, how they exhale, how they walk, how they dress, how they stand, how they eat and drink...... Even the subtle emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness have clear norms, which can be said to cover the entire clothing, food, housing, and various life behaviors and psychological activities...... And its cultivation is also hidden in these daily routines, each action and emotion has a different luck method, Ling Ning took a cursory glance at the dense luck tricks, there are actually as many as a thousand...... It is hard to imagine how "peerless" this woman would be if she did it one by one according to the records of this exercise......

He thought about it again, and if these daily actions and behaviors were included in his practice, wouldn't it be that he practiced all the time, which was several times longer than that of ordinary monks, which showed that it was indeed unique that this exercise could be remembered by the palace master.

The next day, he passed the contents of this "Flower Room" to Qin Xi, and Qin Xi was dumbfounded when he heard it. She has always been a "wild girl", although she is also considered to be from a famous family, but she grew up in the mountains and wilderness, and has always been very disdainful of these rules and regulations, this exercise is simply her "nemesis", strictly stipulating her every move, and it is simply "tormenting" to practice, which is unspeakably uncomfortable.

After three days in a row, Ling Ning finally finished teaching the first part of the trick, and pointed out the method of luck, and the rest was left to Qin Xi's own cultivation. Although Qin Xi was full of "resentment" towards this exercise, and she had to give up several times a day, although she said so, the arrogance and stubbornness in her bones still made her persevere, and it was up to her to see if she could persevere to the end.

……

In the capital of Zhao Kingdom, the originally noisy and busy streets have become very deserted due to the long-term war, the wide streets have been filled with excrement and garbage because no one has cleaned up for a long time, and the scattered pedestrians and sparse shops make the city look extremely desolate. From time to time, you can see beggars wrapped in shabby reed mats in the streets and alleys, and the hungry and dying are considered lucky, most of them have turned into a stiff corpse and began to decompose, summoning countless flies and rats, and some beggars even use the corpse as bait to catch those rats for food......

Night falls, the princess's mansion.

The thousand-foot-wide circular banquet hall is magnificent, and every seat in the hall, whether it is tables, chairs or tableware, is made of pure gold, and there are hundreds of such seats! The stars surround a high platform in the center, and there is a "moat" several feet wide around the high platform, which exudes a burst of wine fragrance, and it is actually a "wine pool" filled with fine wine!

The high platform is built with white marble, the carved beams and painted pillars are beautiful, and the "Spring Palace" painted with countless pearls and gems shines under the candlelight of nearly 1,000 candles.

On the high platform, there is an ivory jade bed, thousands of pearls the size of a dragon's eye are strung into a curtain and hanged, and inside is a layer of thin veil like a cicada's wings.

A jade hand suddenly stretched out from the tulle, and the two waiters on the side hurriedly delivered the amber wine to the jade hand. These two waiters are extremely handsome, with strong limbs, and they will definitely not be more than 15 years old, and they are obviously one in a million!

The jade hand retracted into the tent, drank the wine, and then let out a hearty moan of ecstasy, and only the two waiters could be heard red-faced, but they kept their heads down and did not dare to glance into the tent, as if it was a capital offense to sneak a glance.

There was a person standing under the high platform, to be precise, a monk with his head and nose down, his mouth and his heart.

A seductive voice came from the tent: "Has the master thought clearly?" ”

The voice was as soft as a boneless crisp into the bone marrow, and it seemed to be teasing the heartstrings all the time.

The monk folded his hands together as if he hadn't heard of it and said, "Amitabha, if the princess can give the little monk that thing, the little monk will obey his fate." ”

The woman in the tent chuckled and said, "I have already gone to find that thing myself, it is indeed in the palace, but it is just ......."

"Just what?"

"It's just that the master needs to pick it up himself......"

"Pick it up in person?"

"Yes, this palace can send the master into the palace to meet the queen mother, if the master can make the queen mother happy, I think the queen mother will not be stingy with mundane things......"

"I wonder how the little monk can please the queen? Will you be able to enter the palace tomorrow? ”

Hearing this, the woman in the tent let out a prodigal laugh: "Is the master too anxious? I heard that there is a 'double cultivation' secret technique in Huanxi Zen, since the master is a monk from the Immortal Dust Continent, he must have dabbled in it? ”

"Little monk...... Nature knows ......"

The jade hand stretched out from the tent again, as if it was an invitation, "In that case, why doesn't the master come up and give guidance to the palace?" ”

"Amitabha Buddha ......"

The monk raised his head, raised a handsome face that was long enough to make the hearts of all the women in the world move, and he walked towards the high platform step by step, and then held the jade hand......
